I'd avoid anything with the tag "gaming" in it. They don't do anything different except maybe they'll automatically open the ports for your console. That's a process that takes a minute to do anyway.

I personally use a Belkin Wireless N router that I got 2 years ago. Still works just as well now as it did then. I hear Netgear and Linksys are pretty good, better than Belkin. I'd just look online. You'll always fine one for cheaper on some website of course. But if you're in dire need of one now, then I know the prices on Wireless N routers have dropped since I got one.

Whenever you do get one and if you need assistance then go to this site:

PortForward.com

It gives you step-by-step instructions on how to open ports or set-up your computer, console, whatever in DMZ mode for every router.

The sea rose as a wall of sharp spines sliced thru the surface. The water boiled and churned as fish of all species floated on their sides, dead. Godzilla, the demon god had emerged.

I used to use Linksys (modem AND router), but switched to a D-Link router (with a Motorola modem) when I decided to upgrade from G to N. I can tell you one thing: D-Link has MUCH better customer support than Linksys, but if you decide to go with a system using a wireless adapter (so you can use the net on two computers), I'd advise going with something else. I tried to do that and never could get the adapter to work right, and they wouldn't take it back since it wasn't broken.

The people at two different computer stores I talked to said Belkin is crap, but I have no actual experience with Belkin myself.
